A/N: For RogueFan

The X-Jet soared through the skies at break-neck speeds; which was entirely appropriate as two of the passengers were trying to break each others necks.

"Rakasa! Hindsight! Knock it off!" Scott bellowed at Amira and Gilaad as they rolled along the isle, trying to kill each other. He called them by their codenames to let them know just how annoyed with them he was. It didn't work.

"Take a nice plane ride you said." Rogue berated him. "It'll be fun you said, a chance for us to spend some time together you said. Idiot!" Scott had decided to take the main team—plus the four newcomers: Amira, Gilaad, Sooraya, and Lina—out for a little ride. Remy was trying to get closer to Rogue and so was Peter vis a vi Kitty. Kurt was eating junk food, Bobby was goofing off, Rina was busy unsheathing and re—sheathing her claws, and the others were taking a nap.

"Sor—ry! How was I supposed to know that Gilaad would make some stupid remark about Palestinian hijackers and that Amira would respond by beating the snot out of him?" Scott wondered. Rogue just looked at him. "Oh yeah." He winced.

"Duh!" Remy snapped.

"And this was supposed to be a calm, peaceful outing." Scott groaned as he leaned his head against the dashboard.

It was a tired, weary, and more than a little confused team that arrived back at the Misfit's Manor.

"That certainly did not go as planned." Xi commented.

"A secret organization of kids fighting adult tyranny…that's a new one." Althea admitted.

"So much for the assumption that the Kids Next Door is front for the Hellfire Club." Todd noted.

"I wonder if the Hellfire Club planted that information so we'd destroy the Kids Next Door." Wanda theorized.

"But why?" Pietro asked. "Why would a group of children concern the Hellfire Club?"

"Perhaps they see the Kids Next Door as having potential that could be dangerous to them." Althea said. "In fact, I think I'm starting to get and idea about—" A sudden ring cut her off. "Hold on we've got a call coming in on the vid-monitor." Althea said as she activated the video-monitor. She blinked when she saw who it was as hastily moved in front of it, obscuring Rahne and Tabitha's view. "Uh, Rahne? Tabby? Could you step outside for a minute?"

Rahne looked at Tabitha. Tabby shrugged. "Uh-okay…" Rahne said as she and Tabitha took a step out of the room. Todd shut the door behind them. "What do you suppose that's all about?" Rahne asked.

"I don't know, but I intend to find out." Tabby remarked as she put her ear to the door. "Darn, I can't hear a thing. Come on Rahney, can't you turn into a dog and use your super-hearing to find out what's going on?"

"It isn't super hearing wolves just have more acute senses than humans…" Rahne said hesitantly. "And I don't know if its right to spy on the Misfits. I mean, we're their guests and—"

"It's no different than anything the Misfits do whenever they're over." Tabitha pointed out.

"Look, all I'm saying is—" Rahne answered as she leaned against the door…and promptly fell into the room where the Misfits were supposed to be receiving their private communiqué.

"Rahne!" Several Misfits shouted. The dazed Scottish girl looked up, or rather down since she landed on her back. The first thing she saw was an upside down Althea standing next to the video-monitor which showed a (upside down) brown lizard-like face on the other end.

"Who—what..." Rahne asked slightly dazed as she tried to sit up. Althea hurriedly cut the connection. Tabby strode in a moment later.

"What's shaking guys?" Everyone glared at Toad.

"Toad you dolt, didn't you lock the door?" Pietro snapped.

"I couldn't! Tabby blew up the keyhole two days ago when you tried to keep her out, remember?" Althea just held her hands up.

"Forget it! Looks like we're going to have to bring them along since a certain red-head can't keep their curiosity in check," Althea commented in annoyance.

"What did I do?" Pyro blinked.

"Not you flame-brain!" Wanda snapped at him. "Rahne!"

"Did you know that rhymes?" Pyro asked her. "They go together!" Wanda bopped him on the head.

"Yeah, so does 'Pyro' and 'idiot!' "

"But you two have to swear to keep this secret from everyone and I mean Everyone…including Xavier." Althea warned.

"No sweat." Tabby smiled. "We're aching to find out what you guys are being so secretive about anyway, aren't we Rahney?"

"We noticed." Althea said dryly. "Come on nosey-doggy."

"B-but I didn't…it wasn't me—I mean Tabby was the one who…" Rahne sputtered as she tried to explain as the Misfits walked past her.

"Let's just go." Tabby said as she patted the younger girl on the back. Rahne sighed.

"Why do I get the feeling that the universe hates me?" She groaned as she trudged off to the Mass Device with the others. A push of a button later sent the Misfits' molecules hurtling across great distances instantaneously.

"Where are we?" Rahne asked as they stood at the foot of a giant mountain. Althea smiled.

"The Misfits? Is it really you?" A slightly chubby teenager with an infectious grin walked up to them.

"With friends." Althea smiled to Rahne. "Hi Justin."

"Who's he?" Tabitha asked.

"He's a mutant we met a while ago, but his father didn't want him coming with us." Althea grimaced slightly. "The Blind Master was really upset, he took a shine to him. But there's no point reminiscing about the past just now. Justin's family needs our help."

"Who are they?" Rahne asked as she turned back around to talk to Althea. Althea just grinned.

"Turn around." Rahne did so and was shocked into silence. Standing behind—but most of all above—Justin was a group of beings that defied belief. They were gigantic beings that looked like humanoid dinosaurs.

"Rahne, Tabitha…meet the Dinosaucers."
